That actually makes a lot of sense

You are the problem

Why 2029?

because some guy decided to do something illegal and unconscionable—shooting other people

Can we please stop this narrative that shooting an occupying army is bad?

The murders by the military in the Caribbean are war crimes or Crimes against humanity, because they murdered civilians.

But when someone shoots an armed military member, that’s a valid target.

That’s not true. The majority of US Americans want to stop supporting the Israeli genocide. The vast majority of US Americans want to stop the climate catastrophe. Polls show this.

Yet the vast majority of “elected” representatives continuously vote on these issues against their constituent’s wishes.

Give the voters an actual progressive, and they’ll come out of the woodworks to elect them

And you’ve identified the problem

You were a useful idiot spreading capitalism by a red white and blue sword.

My point is that the only people who voted in that primary were Democrats, which is not a party of progressives, nor do they represent the average US American

They have more lawyers than you

Because Bernie isn’t a democrat. He’s a progressive.

Democrats want people that are corrupt and favor policy for rich people and big businesses

I think you underestimate the class consciousness of the average US American.

Most people who can vote, don’t vote. Give them a progressive candidate, not some obvious corporate puppet, and people will elect them.

People want to eat (the rich)

He also got pathetic votes. If he had a progressive against him (at the televized debates, on all ballots), he would have lost by a landslide

Sure, but zoom out. I think the vast majority of people watched it over-and-over in sheer glee.

And later slept much better, knowing that a horrible person spreading hate was no longer

Yes, it needs to be public. The videos too.

Take my money.

Nope. That’s exactly why Hilary lost.

I can’t understand why anyone would waste time writing code that won’t be shared

That kills collaboration from new people who just, like, discovered your project on some Lemmy thread

Oh, I’m not defending a specific instance. I’m merely pointing out that there does exist a time and place where people should be allowed to dress as despicable characters from history

Can we get a progressive tho?
